Drill Bit KWB 513105 5mm for Chipboard Hardwood Plastic Softwood

The KWB 513105 drill bit, 5 mm diameter, is designed for drilling into chipboard, hardwood, plastic and softwood. It features a chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel main body with an adjustable five-flute carbon steel countersink and an integrated depth stop on a cylindrical shank, providing a combination of durability and controlled drilling for woodworking and general-purpose tasks.

Advantages

The construction with CrV steel and a carbon steel countersink offers resistance to wear while the adjustable five-flute countersink allows precise deburring and chamfering. The integrated depth stop ensures repeatable hole depths, and the cylindrical shank is compatible with standard chucks. The 5 mm diameter is suitable for common dowels, pilot holes and fastener clearance holes.

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible chuck, set the adjustable countersink to the required chamfer size, and position the depth stop to the desired drilling depth. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed as appropriate for the material. Use steady pressure and allow the bit to evacuate chips; clear chips periodically when drilling deep holes.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, match drill speed to the workpiece material, and avoid excessive axial force to prolong tool life. For repeated precise depths, verify the depth stop settings on a scrap piece before working on the final component.
